Beyond the Distant Clouds | AuthorHouse UK

Ngozi Omolaiye has over ten years’ experience in corporate communications in the local authority, insurance, telecom, and aviation sectors. She edited company magazines and newsletters for a greater part of her career. Beyond the Distant Clouds is her first novel—the first book in her series In Your Sokoto. She lives in Essex, United Kingdom, with her husband and daughter.

Overview

Shirley was the ideal wife—every man’s dream, her husband’s heartbeat and lifeline. Her beauty was combined with brains; she loved people, and her humility disarmed everyone, but she began jetting off on frequent holiday sprees, causing instability in her home. Donald couldn’t handle it, what with challenges in the office. His office had several blocks of oil, both onshore and offshore, which they had been drilling for months with no streak of hope in sight. Tife once had a perfect kin-like relationship with Donald. He was like an uncle to her; he had been her late brother’s best friend. Then one day, it all changed, and her world turned upside down. Their relationship was marred, and then a tragic occurrence further threatened to destroy their affinity. In Your Sokoto series Solutions to life’s challenges are all around us and within our reach (sokoto is a Yoruba word for “trouser”), but we go searching for them in distant places, thereby complicating our lives. An old Yoruba (a tribe in West Africa) adage says “What you go looking for in Sokoto is in your sokoto.” Sokoto is a town in northern Nigeria about 760 kilometres from Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria. The Yorubas live in the western part of the country, hence “going to Sokoto” is like going to the ends of the earth. In Your Sokoto is a series of books about relationships with the same theme but different stories and characters. At the end of each book, you will discover that the answers that seemed so far away lie within your heart or just within reach, and things you thought were really complex are not half as complicated as they seemed.

AWAY DAY

During the summer holidays, Adam and Steve decided to travel to Chelsea’s second division away fixture at Millwall.  Although they weren’t sure exactly why they did.  The match was a London derby of the less appetising sort.  A friendly it most definitely was not, and you could be sure that the local New Cross constabulary would have a little flutter in their tummies come Saturday - that’s if they hadn’t gone on holiday, or taken sick leave at short notice.  Millwall versus Chelsea was known as a ‘ding-dong’ derby.  Millwall fists would probably be the ‘ding’ and Chelsea heads would probably be the ‘dong’.
     The train journey was endless, changing from this line then changing to that.  The boys were most definitely in a different part of town - there was no welcoming committee and New Cross Gate station seemed as if it had been refused council refurbishing grants since the Industrial Revolution.  A steam train was expected at any moment.  There was then a long walk to the ground partly because they got lost and it wasn’t long before Adam and Steve found themselves behind schedule.

     They were trying to keep a low profile, but being only just thirteen (Steve was only a year older) they didn’t quite understand the meaning of the word subtlety.  They both wore nylon Chelsea scarves tied around their wrists and Steve had brought his lucky Chelsea jacket covered in badges, of the large sew on variety, for good measure.  Fortunately, both teams played in blue and white so at a hundred yards distance it would not be completely obvious they were ‘Blues’ supporters.

     Not only did both clubs share blue and white colours, they also shared the same animal on the crest of their shirts.  The Lion.  Millwall called themselves, ‘The Lions’ and their ground, ‘The Den’ in Cold Blow Lane, continued the theme.  I suppose you could say that Adam and Steve were just another two ignorant visitors coming to be fed to them.

     Millwall’s ground looked similar to the Shed End at Chelsea, only this time it was all the way round.  If it was a food it would most likely resemble a bowl of concrete.  Terraces on three sides.  Rickety fences.  A small side stand of seats for the more retiring supporters.  They even had mounds of rubble outside for ammunition and old railway tracks, tunnels and breakers yards littered the barren dockland terrain, probably to hasten a quick getaway.  Adam and Steve were a little bit concerned.  Nothing of this was mentioned in the brochures.  To their dismay, it seemed as if only one member of the local constabulary had bothered to turn up on his bicycle and he was an old extra from Z Cars.

The thunder cracked, tagged by a loud rumble, it rolled directly above their heads, followed by a bright flash. “Look there it is again. Did you see that?” Rosie stood mesmerized. “Yes. They look like those scary aliens that Borealis was telling us about. Watch out they’re coming from all directions,” the youth bellowed as he lunged forward to grab Rosie’s arm and pull her to the ground, but he was too late. The alien Queen had Rosie tightly grasped within her tresses. The green giant’s warm, ripe breath, upon his face made him woozy. He knew now where the stench was coming from. Brooke held on to Rosie firmly by the ankles. A green, leathery claw forcefully seized his wrist lifting him from the ground. Instantly the weavers formed a large hand and ripped Brooke from the creature’s grip but it was too late for the girl, she had been snatched. “HELP, SOMEBODY HELP ME.” cried Rosie but her calls were suffocated by the howling wind, and a blood curdling screech of victory that came from the alien Monarch. The invading party disappeared into an electric, whirling mist.

"Do we know who rang us."

"No sir but someone was shot near the bank he may know something."

"Right get a constable to stay at the hospital till he comes round and keep me informed on his condition."

"Right sir."

"If we ever find the man that rang us sergeant I would like to put him up for a 'Bravery Award'."

Meanwhile at the hospital, Dean's in a bad way, he's in a coma, the constable says to the nurse, "Did he have any identification on him nurse?"

"Yes his name is Dean Paxton constable and he keeps shouting out the name Emma."

"Thank you."

He gets on his radio to report to his sergeant, "The mans in a coma and they can't give him a time if any that he will pull out of it, his name is Dean Paxton, serge, that's all they know at the moment."

"OK constable you stay there and let me know if you find out more, see if he had a mobile on him, that'll give us contacts, he must have relatives or a wife."

"Oh serge. The nurse said he keeps calling out for Emma."

"OK see if you can find out more about this Emma, if he's calling for her he must have something on him to give us some idea who she is. A photo, or phone number on his mobile if he has one."

The constable goes back into the room and says to the nurse.

"You didn't happen to find a mobile on him did you?"

"I don't know I'll find out for you constable."

She came back a few minutes later.

"Yes he did have a mobile."

And hands it to the constable.

"That's great nurse maybe we can find out more about him now."

As the constable is checking for numbers on Dean's phone, Dean shouts out for Emma! He made the constable jump out of his skin.

"Maybe that's his wife? I'll look for Emma on his phone."

"Maybe! Constable, but he doesn't have a ring on his finger though."

"I better get on to my serge and let him know we have his mobile."

He steps out of the room an gets on his radio.

"Hey serge we have his mobile and there's an Emma on it, he keeps calling for her shall I call the number!"

"No I'll come and get it and ring her myself!"

The sergeant gets to the hospital and asks the constable.

"Where's the mobile constable?."

"Oh hi serge, it's in the room I'll get it for you."

They both walk into the room, Dean shouts out Emma's name again and makes the sergeant jump.

"You get use to that serge." and hands him the mobile.

"Right carry on constable I'll give Emma a ring."

"Hello! Emma speaking."

"Hello this is sergeant West from the 'Elm lane' police station, your numbers on Dean Paxton's mobile we were wondering if you were his wife as he's in Hospital from a shooting."

Emma's legs gave way, she fell to the floor with shock.

"Are you alright! Are you alright Emma?"

"Yes I'm alright you gave me a shock though. How is he! Is he alright?"

"We can't say Emma, all we know is he's in a coma and keeps calling your name."

Then she remembers the children were at school and had to be picked up. She pulls over and rings a friend to ask her if she would pick them up.

"Of cause I will, anything wrong Emma you sound frightened."

"No!"

She has to tell a little white lie.

Something came up at work and I'll be working a couple more hours, would you look after them till I get there."

"Of cause I will don't worry about a thing Emma."

"Thank you so much, I'll see you later then."

She rushes in and asks for, "Dean Paxton he was in a shooting accident, I'm Emma." She said despondently.

"Ah yes room 10 down the corridor on the right."

Said the nurse.

Emma rushes down the corridor and burst in the room.

"I'm Emma how is he? Is he alright?" As she's walking over to him, takes one look at him all bandaged up, the whole works, she just burst out crying, she gently puts her arms around him, kisses his brow and whispers,

"It's Emma darling please don't die, I love you so much, my darling; I know what you're doing darling! Your relaxing and thinking of me like we said."

Still hugging him she kisses him on the lips with all the love and emotion she could muster up.
